interesting dark color, no? usually lighter golden color, right? is it a species genetics or location thing?

If your talking about the brood box, it's an age thing 🤣🤣 it's had so many coats of linseed oil it's took on that colour.

But if your interested here's a pic of one of my marked queen's from a swarm earlier this year. She's funny because she likes to play dead during an inspection 🤣🤷‍♂️

Back in the victorian era we imported a lot of Italian queen's which are lighter in colour than our native British bee. So we get a wide variation in coloration.

And temperament 🤣🤣
